All-Star Families,

Our PurposeFull People social emotional learning curriculum, has gratitude as its November focus for students. Gratitude is defined as choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives. As we head into Thanksgiving break November 22-24, it is the perfect time for each of us to appreciate the people and things in our lives.

I am grateful for the amazing staff and students that come to Adams each and every day to share friendship and the love of learning. I am grateful to our dedicated PTG who works hard to provide family activities such as our Fall Festival to bring our community together. I am grateful to our families for supporting our school as we work together to create citizens of tomorrow. Most importantly, I am grateful to each of you for sharing and trusting us every day with your most precious gift…your child!

Adams Principal

Thank You

Hats off to Hamblen Presbyterian and Lilac City for the homemade hats and gloves. We will use these to keep student heads and hats warm this winter!

PurposeFull People

Our Character Strong SEL (social emotional learning) curriculum helps students build skills in three areas: Be Kind, Be Strong, Be Well. In November students will Be Well and focus on Gratitude. Gratitude is choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives. Students will participate in classroom lessons and practice gratitude throughout the month.
